a: \(\dfrac{-7}{12}=\dfrac{-7\cdot5}{12\cdot5}=\dfrac{-35}{60};\dfrac{-1}{-15}=\dfrac{1}{15}=\dfrac{4}{60};\dfrac{-5}{4}=\dfrac{-5\cdot15}{4\cdot15}=-\dfrac{75}{60}\)
\(\dfrac{3}{-5}=\dfrac{-3}{5}=\dfrac{-3\cdot12}{5\cdot12}=-\dfrac{36}{60}\)
mà -75<-36<-35<4
nên \(-\dfrac{75}{60}< -\dfrac{36}{60}< -\dfrac{35}{60}< \dfrac{4}{60}\)
=>\(\dfrac{-5}{4}< \dfrac{3}{-5}< \dfrac{-7}{12}< \dfrac{-1}{-15}\)
b: \(\dfrac{-8}{25}+\dfrac{22}{23}+\dfrac{-17}{25}\)
\(=\left(-\dfrac{8}{25}-\dfrac{17}{25}\right)+\dfrac{22}{23}\)
\(=-1+\dfrac{22}{23}=-\dfrac{1}{23}\)
